MK sent this note along today.. hehe... hits nail on the head... I think!
'Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
' On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

T. Boone Pickens - Capitalizing on Opportunity
Eighty-year-old billionaire T. Boone Pickens sees today's times as the next big boon for entrepreneurialism. Here are seven ways you can follow Pickens' entrepreneurial mindset - even if your bottom line doesn't include drilling for "Texas Tea."
1. TAKE A LONG VIEW. "To make the big money, I've found it's best to take a long-term view, stay focused and not get spooked by the temporary fluctuations in the market. When I have the odds in my favor, I put my money up and keep it up. If the fundamentals change, I get the hell out of there."
2. LEAD BY EXAMPLE."You don't run over your personnel, but you don't pump them up with false praise, either."
3. HAVE A PLAN."A fool with a plan can outsmart a genius with no plan."
4. MAKE THE CALL."Sometimes the window of opportunity is open only briefly. Waiting is not a decision, although many people think it is. Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader. Don't fall victim to what I call the ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. You must be willing to fire."
5. BALANCE IT OUT."Work eight hours and sleep eight hours, and make sure that they are not the same eight hours."
6. LEARN FROM MISTAKES."It's all right to get your fingers crushed in the door, but don't let the same door crush them twice."
7. BE ACCESSIBLE. It creates goodwill.
